It's comfortable for 4 people and has a good size restroom (with toiletries from Beekman 1802)and a cute loft above with access from a sliding ladder. The Murphy bed folds out to a huge king size bed. There is a gazebo in the center with a swinging bench and the grounds are well maintained. It's pretty close to a lot of interesting spots like the Magnolia Silos and the Homestead Heritage, as well as the Mammoth National Monument. The closest spot for a quick bite would be the Church's Chicken or Dickey's BBQ at the gas station down the street.

Recently spent a weekend here, and overall we had a good time. Like most places, there were…read moredefinitely some positives and negatives. **The Good** There are a lot of amenities to enjoy. The property features a playground, several dining options, a general store, live music, a swimming pool with a swim-up bar, mini golf, fishing, a water park for kids, and more. Most of the amenities are well-maintained, clean, and provide plenty of entertainment for families. The on-site restaurant was actually better than expected. It's nothing fancy, but the food is tasty. Some menu items are a bit pricey, while others are reasonably priced. They offer a variety of accommodations, including cabins, tent sites, and RV hookup spots, which gives visitors plenty of options depending on their style of camping. The location is another plus. It's right on the river and just outside of Waco, making it feel like a getaway while still being close enough to town if you want to grab something or explore the city. They also offer golf cart rentals, which can be very helpful if your cabin or RV site is located farther away from the main amenities. **The Bad** One of the biggest drawbacks is that most amenities don't open until around 10-11 a.m. If you have kids who wake up early, you're left waiting several hours before there's much to do. I can understand limited hours during the week, but on weekends--and especially throughout the summer--the water park and other family attractions should open earlier. There's no reason the water park couldn't open at 9 a.m. The park markets itself as a kid-focused destination, but in reality it feels more like an RV resort with some great family amenities added in. The cabins are another area where expectations should be managed. The descriptions on the website make them sound much larger than they actually are. We stayed in a cabin advertised to sleep 10 people, and with only four people it already felt somewhat cramped. If you're traveling with a larger group, I'd strongly recommend booking multiple cabins next to each other instead of relying on one large cabin. The cabins could also use a more thorough cleaning. I completely understand that being near the river means bugs and outdoor debris are unavoidable. However, our floors were noticeably dirty, and the walls had shoe marks, scuffs, and other stains throughout the cabin. It felt like only the most frequently used areas received attention during cleaning, rather than the entire cabin. Another surprise was that the beds weren't made upon arrival. Instead, guests are given packaged sheets and expected to make the beds themselves. At the price point they're charging, I think that should already be taken care of before guests arrive. Lastly, the overall value feels a bit off. The experience is enjoyable, but it comes across as overpriced for what you actually receive. **Overall** We had a fun weekend and genuinely enjoyed our stay. However, after reflecting on the experience, it felt like the property falls a little short in several areas. The amenities--especially the water park and on-site dining--do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to the overall experience. Without those, my rating would be significantly lower.

The Giraffe barn is attached to one side of the house, and their pasture is on the other side. It is the most fabulous "Barndominium" with incredible finishes and clearly thoughtfully designed. That experience alone was mind-blowing.... however we also had the Gold Packages and were able to experience everything the ranch had to offer! Zebras, Capybaras, Kangaroos, Otters, Deer, Homer the Dromedary!!! Everywhere you turned there were more animals and more experiences offered. My children and I were in absolute animal heaven and will be thrilled to return. I will say, our vacation was expensive and it did not disappoint. However, I do believe you can absolutely visit this ranch on a budget.... Probably one of the best experiences was their ranch safari and that is a nominal price and totally worth it! You can see the entire property and all of the animals on the safari trip. Additionally they have fantastic cabins that are themed, and if you have children under the age of 10, the pirate themed cabins are beyond your wildest imagination.... as far as I am aware all of the sleeping accommodations include kitchens so you can absolutely cook for your family instead of paying for the delicious ranch food. That said... Chef Alan is phenomenal and out of this world excellent chef. Each meal was made with love and artistry. The staff at Blue Hills Ranch all go above and beyond to create lasting memories for you. I absolutely recommend this experience as a NOT TO BE MISSED event! We are already planning a return in October/November depending on availability . Cannot wait. Looking forward to being among these amazing staff members (shout-out to Jen, Anne, Shelby, Emily, Chesney, Alan...) the guard dogs, and all of the incredible exotic animals. Thank you, Matt!

With the Waco Wine Tour you get to stop at three wineries and sample about 5-6 samples at each winery. There is also a stop at a vineyard (and unfortunately we didn't go at the right season), but you get to see where all the vines and grapes grow, as well as have a delicious snack from a nearby market! I found some great wine I liked and our tour guide Joey was amazing! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and answered every random question we could think of. He let us have alone time, giving us the right amount or privacy, but was always engaging and positive when we wanted to include him in girl time. I'm so glad I got this as my first wine tour experience, and if I'm ever in the area, I will have to come back and take the tour again... as well as buy some delicious wine!
